It clarifies the supremity of those powers that are authorized to the federal government. The people created the federal government to be their agent for certain enumerated powers - and nothing more. All other powers were retained. This is the simple concept of sovereignty, which just isn't taught much in the government schools these days. There are 30 powers that are enumerated in the constitution, and when the government writes law in regards to those powers, it is supreme. Adam, thanks for pointing out that important clause!
